I sit in the darkness In the silence of the night Next to you. Holding my knees tight to my chest And wondering Why? With so much love to give Why give it all to me? And I can find no answer The smoke from my cigarette Paints swirls of shadows Across your sleeping face And I wonder How? With all that you give to me Can I offer you anything That will compare? And I can give no reply. Then as the first light of dawn Shows the highlights in your hair And the softness of your skin There is only one answer I can offer That if the world should keep us together Or if it should tear us apart You will have my love My hopes and dreams My soul And even though we may not Always be together If you close your eyes And think of me You are never alone. |

What a wonderful piece!! It's the kind of poem every woman would want wrote to her. Great Job!!  "That man has shown himself great who has never grieved in evil days and never bewailed his destiny." --Seneca |

Trew~ Sometimes life gives us blessings and we cannot count high enough to reach the appreciation of them. Just enjoy that she's there .. don't question the why's ... chances are ... it's because she wants to be. Beautifully done. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

Trew, Wonderful poem. So well written. I am with Marge here...do not question why. Just enjoy the time that you have with her. Only fate knows how long that will be. I just love the ending... If you close your eyes And think of me You are never alone. That just says it all. Great work!!

a beautiful poem. very romantic. ask not these questions just enjoy her love. wonderful poem ------------------------ "Take nothing but pictures. Leave nothing but footprints. Kill nothing but time". Baltimore Grotto "To be nobody-but-yourself-in a world which is doing its best night and day, to make you everybody else - means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting." E.E Cummings. manic street preachers "Culture Alienation Borebom and Despair" "I know I believe in nothing but it is my nothing" -faster MSP "And you see, I kind of shiver to conformity Did you see, the way I cower to authority, you see And my life, it's a series of compromises anyway It's a sham, and I'm conditioned to accept it all, you see" six by Paul Draper. ----- |

~Trew This was breathtaking. you write beautiful romantic poetry. i stand in awe of your work friend. take care. amy p.s. thanks for the advice you gave to me on my poem entitled "dad". I took some of what you said to heart. thanks again. "Don't be dismayed at goodbyes. A farewell is before you can meet again. And meeting again after a moment or a lifetime is certain for those who are friends." "Fate exists but it can only take you so far, Because once you're there It's up to you to make it happen." |

Why is it that when we are wondering, we always sit in that same position?  Anytime I'm in deep thought, I sit like that, with my knees tight against my chest.....*sigh* This was just beautiful. Nothing like watching a lover sleep.....Tender moments like that should never be taken for granted. Very well done sir! |

I'm overwhelmed that I have so many positive reponses. This is wonderful; to be able to share with others. Tennessee Angel: Thank you. It's something that I've tried to say many times, but have only written. Marge: I enjoy her being there every day. It's more that I'm amazed, than really questioning. You are so right about our blessings. Thanks for taking time for me. Kit: Thanks so much. I try to capture one feeling at a time. Glad you enjoyed it! Lone Wolf: Fate indeed! I'll just enjoy it minute by minute. Good advice! Thanks for writing. brian: I shall, but I can't shake the awe that she inspires. Thanks... Jeffrey: Oh, man! I pride myself a romantic, but Sir Sven? Whoaa!! Whoaa!!!! I am severely flattered! Thanks for reading and the enormous compliment! Amy: I'm so glad you liked my writing. Thank you! And I'm glad you took my comments into thought. Be well. pFF: I've wondered the same thing. I love nothing more than to watch a lover sleep. I think you see their true beauty. Thank you so much for your response! Butterflies: How very true. There are too many things that are taken for granted. Love should be the least of them. Thank you. kitkat: Oh no! Not you too!! lol Really, I am humbled. I'm glad I could give you a little something. I feel I've taken so much already. Thanks for everything. I have been to see the world. Tasted life at every turn. And all the time your face came back to haunt me. -Chris DeBurgh |
